    Gemmzie I'd really like us to do the challenge again. I can't find the other one that you mention, and does it really matter if there are two similar ones?

    I guess not but won't it get confusing?

  • Is the other one you were on about the sealed pot challenge? If so i think we could still run another olympic challenge alongside that with no problems :)
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    The sealed pot is different - is collecting change in a jar isn't it? Most of my money for the challenge was electronic - transfers, paypal and stuff, and very rarely cash so I think the Olympic challenge is very different really.

    Thats what I was thinking. But it was the only challenge i could see so far planned for next year and was wondering if it was the one that gemmzie had mentioned.

    I always run a sealed pot alongside my olympic challenge and there is only ever around £10 in there (well both challenges we have done so far) dnt think I would do too well in that one :rotfl: especially as I rarely have cash as I use my cashback credit card for pretty much all purchases!

    Hoping for another olympic challenge, dont mind doing the totals if nobody else wants to :)

    No no, it wasn't the sealed pot challenge - that's a great idea.

    It was pretty much exactly what we do. I mean I'm up for it if you guys are, just felt I'd been a bit hijacked

  • found the £2008 for 2008 club, but think thats for the compers trying to earn the equivilent of £2008 worth of prizes. When I first read the thread I thought it was taking over ours but then I realised it was the replacement of win back your internet costs in prizes. It wasnt until I noticed it was in the competitions time forum/area (whatever its officially called) I realised :)

    Um, I don't know at the moment to be honest, someone else has started a really similar challenge with our totals of gold, silver etc. So I was planning to but now I'm not sure.


    I noticed the other challenge and I was going to post on there about this one but I thought I had better not. This is the original one and I am sticking by it :D
